Load Testing

What is Load Testing?

• Definition and Purpose:
  • Load testing is a type of performance testing.
  • It simulates realistic user activity on a system to measure its performance under normal and peak loads.
  • It helps identify bottlenecks, scalability issues, and determine if the system can handle expected loads.
  • It is crucial for ensuring that the system functions properly under heavy load conditions.
• Types of Load Testing
  • Stress Testing.
  • Capacity Testing.
  • Volume Testing
• Load Testing Process

• • Test Planning
  • Test Design
  • Test Execution
  • Test Analysis
  • Test Reporting
• Benefits of Load Testing
  • Ensures optimal performance under expected and peak loads.
  • Identifies and resolves bottlenecks and performance issues.
  • Helps improve the system’s scalability and reliability.
  • Enhances the user experience by minimizing response time.
  • Mitigates the risk of system failures and downtime.
  • Increases confidence in the system’s ability to handle loads.
